(Funny, but as I try to post this, I wonder what others will glean from it? I have not posted it twice now as I was unsure how it would be taken and how much would be read into it.)

Here is how I make this list. It's a cumulative of a list process I found in a magazine article years ago and things that just simply worked better for me.

This list is made in stages. The first stage is writing three (3) lists and allowing yourself three (3) minutes to make each list. The trick is to honestly write down everything that comes to mind in the order it comes to mind. This list is private, so relax and let your feelings, wishes, dreams and desires flow onto the paper!

1. What would you like to accomplish in your lifetime?

2. What would you like to accomplish in the next year?

3. What would you need/ want to accomplish if the doctor gave you a month to live?

Sometimes life just works like that for me. I have to stop everything (literally jump off the world) and rethink my life. My entire life. Where is He sending me? Where are they pulling me? And she pulling me? And that other group pulling me?

Which of these really even matters?

His way, of course!

And, what if going His direction, as I'm called to do it, makes me an outcast/ oddity with the others? Seriously~~

So What?!?!

Their approval...

Or her's...

Or theirs...

Won't make a bit of difference in my salvation.

And that is the only thing that matters in the end.

We are all, hopefully, working toward that final day.

That day when we each must stand before the Lord and explain ourselves.

To me the goal is to have as little as possible to explain.

While I can not go back into my past and rectify wrongs I have done, I can chose to live a holy life from here out. I will still make mistakes. A lot of them probably. I am still human, flawed. I stumble, get rebellious, stomp, mumble, fuss and complain.

Good Morning! Hope your sleep was blessed.
Matt has left me this morning for his daily school adventures.
I noticed that Tommy had pulled down his wheel and re-attached it for him when it occurred to me that he might enjoy a piece of bacon.
Matt had left a couple fatty ends on his plate so I gave one to Tommy and one to Bob, the hermit crab.
Bob is sleeping in, but doesn't Tommy look like he's enjoying every bite?
